Home Defense:
I have one .357 Magnum revolver in a holster that is attached to the headboard of my bed and another .357 Magnum revolver concealed on a bookshelf at the front of the house. Both are easily accessible, neither require much thought of maintenance, and they are simple understand and use. If there is a bad round, heaven forbid if that were to ever happen, just squeeze the trigger, again. No tapping or racking.

Personal Defense:
Because they are slim and lite, I carry a Kel-tec P-3AT .380 ACP and a Ruger LC9 9mm. Because I make visual contact with them on a regular basis it is easy to remember to perform maintenance check-ups and cleanings on them.
